INDEPENDENT MONITOR JAMES GINGER’S CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. GINGER WILL OVERSEE REFORMS AT APD AFTER THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT’S INVESTIGATION.
BUT GINGER RUBBED MOST COUNCILORS THE WRONG WAY WHEN HE FAILED TO ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS WITH THEM. THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY MEETINGS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BETWEEN GINGER AND HALF A DOZEN COUNCILORS … A MOVE THE FOUNDATION FOR OPEN GOVERNMENT SAYS WAS ILLEGAL.
GINGER’S 4 YEAR CONTRACT WILL PAY HIM 4-AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
